By now many of you have more than likely tried pokè, looked at pokè or watched one of your friends eat pokè.

Chef Dakota Weiss, of Sweetfin Pokè in an article about Pokè for People Magazine summed it up nicely, “It’s the next generation of sushi, but easier to eat.”
When you step up to a pokè bar it’s pretty simple, you pick your fish, your rice, seasonings and veggies. Pokè bowls are tasty, fresh and very satisfying.
